Six more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST today, following on from Manchester United’s win over Everton.

The benching of Ben Chilwell is the headline team news from Wolves v Chelsea, while Alexander Isak returns to lead the line for Newcastle United at Brentford.

Chilwell and the rested N’Golo Kante are replaced by Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher in Frank Lampard’s first game back as Blues boss.

Wolves bring in Diego Costa, Daniel Podence and Joao Gomes for the suspended Ruben Neves and the benched Adama Traore and Joao Moutinho.

Isak replaces Callum Wilson for Newcastle, while Joe Willock comes in for the injured Allan Saint-Maximin.

Thomas Frank makes three changes, recalling Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Kevin Schade for Mads Roerslev, Mikkel Damsgaard and Bryan Mbeumo.

Evan Ferguson and Adam Webster make way for Danny Welbeck and Levi Colwill as Brighton & Hove Albion take on unchanged Tottenham Hotspur.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery also resists the urge to tinker but opponents Nottingham Forest demote Emmanuel Dennis, Orel Mangala and Remo Freuler and recall Jonjo Shelvey, Joe Worral and Cheikhou Kouyate.

Ricardo Pereira, Daniel Amartey and Boubakary Soumare come in for Nampalys Mendy, Harry Souttar and the suspended Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as Leicester make three changes for their clash with Bournemouth.

The Cherries bring in Chris Mepham and Joe Rothwell for the injured Marcos Senesi and the benched Hamed Traore.

The most alterations come at Craven Cottage.

Willian, Cedric Soares and Tosin Adarabioyo come in for Kenny Tete, Issa Diop and Manor Solomon for the hosts.

As for the Hammers, Angelo Ogbonna, Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings replace Thilo Kehrer, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson Palmieri, Said Benrahma and the absent Lucas Paqueta.

    The days of walking past Dixon's or Rumbellows and seeing the scores through the window are long gone.

    You see a 1-0 and check again ten minutes later and it's 0-0.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      35 & 36 are the only 'good' fixtures left for us defensively so I understand the move. If you can bench better though

  26. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Man The Defenders except for Chilwell are just so poor this season. I don't even wanna replace Chilwell or Shaw with anyone. Just gonna play Schar and Estupinan

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Except for Trippier*

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I know what you mean, everyone has Trippier so he doesn't really count. There really isn't any defender that excites me as a FPL asset.

  27. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago
